Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add an application to the launcher.
2. Open application and deselect "Keep in launcher" when application is loading or has just loaded.

Result:
Icon disappears from launcher even when application is open. Restarting application doesn't work (whether from terminal or GUI). Icon remains absent until system restart (logging out doesn't seem to fix it for me).

Desired result:
Icons should not disappear from launcher when application is open/loading.

Bug spot testing:
Ubuntu Tweak (see screenshot), Firefox, Ubuntu Software Centre, Sound Recorder, System Monitor, VLC (seems unaffected), Disk Usage Analyzer (seems unaffected).

Note: Linux newbie still trying to find my way around.

Thanks for your bug report. I'm reassigning this to Unity, as this doesn't seem like a kernel problem to me. I'm going to mark it as new again as well, as this is no longer subject to kernel triaging rules.

I haven't tried Ubuntu 12.04. I currently use Xubuntu (laptop). Using Arch Linux on my desktop since I prefered something lighter (my desktop is 8 years old). I can give Ubuntu a test run on my laptop if you want.
